Japan has the world's smallest park, which is incredibly tiny.
Nagaizumi in Shizuoka Prefecture now holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest park, measuring just 0.24 square meters.
Nagaizumi, a town in Shizuoka Prefecture, just pulled off a wild feat— they’re now home to the world’s smallest park, certified by Guinness World Records! On February 25, the organization measured this tiny green space, which clocks in at only 0.24 square meters—less than two A3 sheets of paper. Yeah, it’s smaller than your last pizza box, but it has an entrance, grass, and a bench that’s basically just a fancy stool for one.
This park was built back in 1988 but only got its official designation last December, paving the way for the world record. Now, locals are reacting with a mix of humor and disbelief. Some think it’s cute, while others joke it’s a “luxurious hamster grave.” So, if you’re planning a picnic, just know you’re gonna have to alternate seats! And hey, there’s a gelato shop nearby for dessert—perfect for a tiny day out!
